Скачать или смотреть 1958 Mickey Mantle Game Worn New York Yankees Jersey

World Championship pinstripes from the two-time defending American League MVP!

The award ceremony at the Yankee Stadium home opener on April 18, 1958 provides us with the first of multiple photo matches for this exceptional home pinstriped flannel from the most celebrated star of post-war Major League Baseball, a garment that finds the blue-eyed Okie at the dizzying peak of his Hall of Fame talent.

His stat line is crowded with the bold ink of American League supremacy, leading all hitters in home runs (42), total bases (307), walks (129) and runs scored (127) among them.

He'd also showcase his legendary foot speed with twenty-one stolen base attempts, all but three successful.

While it's the ultimate statement of the obvious to assert that any jersey worn in competition by this monumental hero of Monument Park is a treasure of extraordinary value and significance, the offered specimen ranks among the very finest of that paltry surviving population.

Beyond its World Championship vintage and emergence from the gilded prime of its original owner, this is one of the very few Mantle gamers to evade the widespread practice of demotion to the farm system for secondary use subsequent to its Major League service.

The vast majority of existing Mantle jerseys have been stripped of their original obverse identifiers (and occasionally even the number "7" on verso) for minor league action, where they were commonly worn to the brink of destruction. This Platinum Night auction actually includes a 1964 Mantle gamer that still bears the "Fort Lauderdale" obverse text that replaced the original "New York" as worn in the Bigs.
